<OUTPUT>

The <OUTPUT> command sets which output or outputs Enrichment will send a document to.

Note: Do not confuse the <OUTPUT> print stream command with the Output group.

The <OUTPUT> command syntax is as follows:

<OUTPUT> name

where name is the name of an Output group in which to place the document. For example:

DOCUMENT:
IF %%varname = 9 THEN
 <OUTPUT> output1
ELSE 
 <OUTPUT>output2 
 <OUTPUT>output3
ENDIF

You can place the same document in multiple output files using multiple <OUTPUT> commands. You can also place multiple copies of a document in a single output by using multiple <OUTPUT> commands with the same output name.

Note: If the same document is <OUTPUT> multiple times, the copies will be identical, except for any changes made in a later PAGE: section.

You can specify <OUTPUT> NONE to discard documents.

Note: <OUTPUT> NONE overrides any earlier <OUTPUT> commands for the document and cannot be overridden by a subsequent <OUTPUT> command for the same document.

The <OUTPUT> command has a slightly different function depending on which section of the rule file you use it in. The table below explains how to use the <OUTPUT> command in each rule file section.

Note: If the same document is <OUTPUT> multiple times, the copies will be identical, except for any changes made in a later PAGE section. The following table summarizes the use of <OUTPUT> in the Rule File Sections

Table 1. Use of <OUTPUT> in Rule file Sections
Rule File Section	<OUTPUT> Command
START	<OUTPUT> defines the output where a banner or banners will go. For example: `START: <output>Output1 <banner>Banner1 <banner>Last <output>Output2 <banner>Banner2` The example above would place banner `Banner1` and banner `Last` in `Output1` and would place banner `Banner2` in `Output2`.
DOCUMENT	<OUTPUT> is normally set in the DOCUMENT section to route the current document to one or more outputs.
PAGE	<OUTPUT> NONE can be used to discard pages.
PRESORTED	<OUTPUT> changes the output (for example, you can use it to reroute residual mail to another output).
FINISH	<OUTPUT> defines the output where a banner or banners will go. For example: `FINISH: <output>Output1 <banner>Banner1 <banner>Last <output>Output2 <banner>Banner2` The example above would place banner `Banner1` and banner `Last` in `Output1` and would place banner `Banner2` in `Output2`. You can also use <OUTPUT> to reference output-specific system variables. For example: `FINISH: <output>Output1 write(,%%OUT_PAGE) <output>Output2 write(,%%OUT_PAGE)` The example above would write two different total page numbers, the first for `Output1` and the second for `Output2`.
